Reply to comment by shawn-fff in Just picked up this SpeedQueen dryer/washer set for $175 - both work great, and the washer has a new drum! by JollyBodkin

I've had 2 to 4 Speed Queen washer / gas dryer sets running 4 loads a day for up to 20 years. Including 2 of the newer design. Newer washers are slower, more bothersome safety interlocks, more electronic jazz.

I do prefer the old washer design. I think the new ones are still worth it, but might look for a used older unit next time

Don't they make a commercial and a residential line now? I'm assuming the commercial ones would be higher quality. I've even seen retired laundromat ones for sale with the coin dispensers still attached.

I talked with the factory when I purchased mine, they have always made commercial and homeowners with the only difference is the commercial has a coin box. Both of ours are going on 10 years
